V Moments are useless if trifled away; and they are dangerously wasted if con sumed by delay in cases where One Minute Cough Cure would bring imme diate relief. Hbbshiseb & Gilligan. The west bound passenger train was three hours late last night on account of a broken eccentric. The east bound this morning is also three hours late, the cause being unknown. To heal the broken and diseased tis sues, to soothe the irritated surfaces, to instantly relieve and to permanently cure is the mission of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Hbbshisbr & Gilugan. Clinton Lowrie left Tuesday morning for Princeton, N. J., where he is taking a course in the celebrated university at that place. He will probably be joined by another O’Neill boy in a couple of weeks.

No man or woman can enjoy life or accomplish much in this world while suffering from a torpid liver. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the pills that cleanse that organ quickly. Hersoisbb & Gillioak. Wednesday morning we received a letter from Homer Garretson, who now lives at Worthington, Minn. He in formed us that a son was born to them Hast Monday morning. We hope that he will live to a good old age and be the pride of his parents. Small precautions often prevent great mischiefs. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are very small pills in size, but are most effective in preventing the most serious forms of liver and stomach troublee. They cure constipation and headache and regulate the bowels. W. J. Dobbs, J. J. King, J. P. Gilli gan, Clyde King, E. H. Benedict and Ed Grady went over to Butte Monday murning to assist the Butte lodge, A. F. and A. M., in conferring degrees upon some candidates. They returned borne Tuesday and report having had an enjoyable time. Judge Kinkaid went down to Ewing Monday morning to perform the cere mony which united Miss Josie Trom mershausser and Geo. A. Raker. The judge has made it a practice to decline when asked to tie the nuptial knot, but as it was by request of the biide of course the judge could not refuse. Certainly you don’t want to suffer with dyspepsia, constipation, sick head ache, sallow skin and loss of appetite. You have never tried DeWitt’s Little Early Risers for these complaints or you would have been cured. They are small pills but great regulators. Hershiser & Gilligan. County Clerk Bethea has dispensed with the services of his deputy, M. H. McCarthy. The business of the office did not justify Mr. Bethea in continuing the full force of clerks, and of course family ties had more weight, in deter mining who was to remain, than did efficiency in doing the work in the office. P. J. McManus returned from Chicago last Saturday evening, where he has been the past three weeks purchasing his fall and winter stock. While away Pat purchased a large stock of clothing which he will add to his already well equipped store, making it one of the best stocked stores in western Nebras ka. Judging from the large stock of goods he purchased on this trip, we believe that he thinks the prosperity the republican party promised last fall has arrived. Watch for his announcement next week. In compliance with a recent order of the railroad company, Agent Dobbs and Operator Gallagher are sporting bran new black silk caps trimmed with gold braid, and with the words “agent” and “operator” in raised gold letters across the front. They are a very neat, tasty cap, and improve the boys appearance greatly—not on the theory that any thing would lje an improvement, but they add a finishing touch where none was needed. Dobbs is particularly well pleased, because he will never again be mistaken for Joe Meredith. Advocate: We are informed that not long since a young lady called at the post office at Orchard and bashfully inquired of the postmaster if there was a letter for her. “Business or love let ter,” jokingly inquired the postmaster. “Business,” was the reply, accompanied by a flush of deepest crimson. As there was no such letter to be found, she took her departure. She cams back, however, after a little and said in falter ing accents: “Please would you mind looking among the love letters?” Ur. ahd Mrs. F. C. Galz returned Tuesday evening from Columbus, where Mrs. Gatz has been visiting relatives for the past ten days. Fred went down Saturday. _ Elmer Williams and family returned from Long Pine Tuesday morning, where Mrs. Williams and the children have been enjoying an outing the past two months. Elmer Williams turned over hie office to R. H. Jenness, the newly appointed receiver, Wednesday morning. Thb Frontier welcomes Mr. Jenness and family to O’Neill, and hopes that his official career in O’Neill will be a pleas ant and profitable one. Mr. Williams has not decided as to what business he will engage in, but we tiust he will decide to remain in O'Neill, where he has made many friends during his resi dence here, but should he desire to seek fortune elsewhere he will have the best wishes of O’Neillltes for success. Mr. James E. Ferrell, of Burnt House, W. Va., has discarded all other diarrhoea medicines and now handles only Cham berlin’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He has used it in his family and sold it to his customers for years, and has no hesitation in saying that it is the best remedy for colic and diarrhoea he has ever known. It not only gives relief but effects a permanent cuie. It is also safe and pleasant to take, making it an ideal remedy for bowel complaints. For sale by P. C. Corrigan, druggist. Pierce Call: Cbas. Hemstreet, of O’Neill, was in town the first of the week looking over the Hammond house and was so favorably impressed that he has made arrangements to buy it. He returned to O'Neill Wednesday to make preparations to move from there to this point. Landlord Hammond expects to dispose of his farm in Pierce county tor hotel property in Neola and Tama City, la. He has been one of the old land marks of Pierce, and the Call regrets that he and his estimable wife are to move from among us. There was a pleasant social gathering at the home of J. M. Daley, ten miles northwest of O’Neill, last Monday even ing, in honor of Mrs. M. J. Daley, of Park City, Utah, who has been visiting relatives here for several weeks. There were about sixty invited guests present, a large number going out from town. Dancing, which formed the chief amuse ment of the evening, was interrupted at 11:30 to partake of a bountiful lunch, and was then continued until a late hour, all seeming reluctant to leave a scene of so much enjoyment, but were finally induced to start by the fear that the rising sun would interrupt the joys of the homeward drive. Married, at Ewing, Neb., on Monday, August 30, 1897, Mr. Geo. A. Raker to Miss Josie Trommershausser, Judge Einkaid officiating. The groom is edi tor of the Ewing Advocate, and is quite well and favorably known throughout the county as an energetic and able newspaper man. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr.' and Mrs. J. A. Trommershausser, of Ewing, and has been one of the leaders of elite society in eastern Holt. The Frontier hopes that the journey of the happy young couple down the pathway of life will be a pleasant one, and that their fondest dreams will be realized. Dixon Tribune: J. C. Ecker, the editor of this paper, and Richard Wilde, started last Monday evening for the Black Hills country, equipped with mining tools, the necessary articles for camping out, a good supply of fish hooks and lines —we knew he would go fishing—and will prospect for a few weeks, with the anticipation of finding that which is said to be the root of all evil, and, we hope, working off a little of the Elondyke fever which nas been consuming them of late. In Mr. Ecker’s absence the better half and son will endeavor to dish up the news, trusting that the readers of the Tribune will have all charity for our incapability and be patient until the editor returns. .Spalding Grit: It makes us blush with pride to even write about it, but Holt Moses! did vou see the score in last week’s Grit? “Since 1880 there has been registered in Spalding ninety-six marriages and seven hundred and six teen births." That's our record. Read it over again, slowly. Think of it—96 in., 716 b—babies. And there are some who don’t believe we can raise anything in Nebraska—measly tallow-faced Yanks who drag out their penurious existence on the stone farms of Vermont and New Jersey, where a real live baby is a curi osity. Ninety-six marriages; seven hundred and sixteen babies! ’Nigh unto a dozen apiece. By Cces&r’s ghost! marriage is no failure here, and the dry seasons cut no figure whatever, our crop of matrimonial fruit is harvested just as regular—the little dears. J0HN80IT8 GBIST. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 2,1897.—Special Correapendence: I talked with repub lican! from all over the atate who were here attending the recent republican atate convention. From I gathered that the eourage of the party aa to thia year’s campaign haa risen rapidly during the last few weeks. One of the moat trusted lfhdera said, “for several years there baa been actual calamity, locally and nationally. Tbia HaaaOal dtatrees was an opportunity for a certain class i of ,offlbe stokers known as calamity politicians. When hard times brought grief and depression to the public mind the professional pessimist could get a hearing^'the second rate men could get sympathy and the calamity party could get temporary support on the same principsi that the black sheep is always welcomed home and heated kindly when there is a funeral in the family. I am speaking now not of the farmers < who went into populism earnestly, believing that it would in some way 1 better their condition, but of the unscru pulous politicians Who shrewdly edged themselves into control of the farmer i movement, recognizing the farmers’ dis content as their opportunity. The republican party redeeming its pledges < to the nation, bringing a return of old ! time prosperity as it promised to*do, and i the crop conditions being unusually I favorable, there is ’no longer a reason able reason for farmer discontent in this state. With the reasons for discontent removed, the pessimist is out of busi ness, calamity is a lost cause, and the calamity party disconcerted and em barrassed as it never was before." Another republican said, “The only thing the fusionlsts can tslk to the pub lic this year is the Bartley and Moore defalcation. Privately they will whis per to each other, 'the offices! the offices! We must keep the offices!* This yearning to keep the offices, while It will arouse the calamity office-seekers to desperation, will not interest the farmer voter, except that he will natur ally desire to see the publio positions in the state filled with men who are in 1 accord with the prosperous conditions. It’s an awkward situation when a pros perity w«hip.> is manned by a calamity crew. What will the eastern people think of us it we endorse populism this year? They’ll think we are crazy, sure enough. Among the politicians at the state house I find a general disposition to sneer at eastern opinion. One of them said to me, “It’s none of their business what we do in our Nebraska politics. What do we care for their opinion?" But I gather from Nebraska people as I meet them here in Lincoln that they do care for eastern opinion. Not that we are to be dictated to, but we are enter ing an era of returned prosperity. If through our elections and our public sentiment we show that this state is in accord with the McKinley administra tion there will be thousands of business men and farmers come here to buy property and live among us, who, if they saw we were maintaining a hostile attitude, were remaining one of the wailing places of calamity, would turn away in disgust. It seems to me the issue will turn on whether we manifest our prosperity or deny it. The bureau of statistics is preparing to prove that the farmers are not prosperous, that they are not paying up their indebted ness, that the crops are not as bounteful as reported, that what seems to be pros perity is only a delusion, is only tem porary, and that we are to lapse back into the old conditions of grief and distress. The governor says, “Our crops are good, but —, we might prosper, if — and he gets his "ifs” and his “huts” into public view as prominently as pos sible because he believes that a majority of our people are confirmed pessimists and that by catering to that morbid sentiment he can hold himself and his coterie of flunkies in office even if the state looses what it would otherwise gain, a heavy immigration of new peo ple and an increase in the value of its property. The fusioniata are to fuse with wind as uaual this year. The hysterical demonstrations have already begun, as I write these lines the boy orator is setting the prairies on lire at Broken Bow. The World-Herald announces that the people there are “wild over Bryan.” There’s nothing new in that. It’s not the first time they have gone wild at Broken Bow. If that old dreary dreamy-eyed Kem would show up at Broken Bow now they would set the dogs on him, and yet it’s only a few short years since they went wild over him. When Old Calamity Kem stood up at Broken Bow in 1890 with tears in his eyes and tears in bis voice and told the people that the money power had conspired to crush him by loaning him $1,509 on a $700 farm, and that there fore he wanted to go to congress, these wild people raised themselves up, threw their arms into the air and let forth each t wild yell that the wary coyote on the ilstant hill stirred the prairie grass with kis nimble feet and the bob cat in the :annon, crouching low, said to himself, 'they are after me." They were not tfter the wildcat, but after the wildcat itatesman and his wildcat politics and :hey wanted him for his yery wildness wd they’ve been wild every since, rhsy went wild over Bill XeKeighaa, Bill Allen,' Bill Green, and why ihonldn’t they go wild over Bill Bryant What are all these Bills galavantlng >ver the country for if not to arouse olid demonstrations from that portion >f the community that has been wild for fears without knowing what it was all iboutt They went wild over Dennia Kearney, the sand lot agitator, and carried him iround on their ahouldera twenty yean igo in Ban Franciaco. They went wild >ver Kelly aa he floated hla army of ;rampa down the Dea Molne river, rhey went wild over Coxey when he rode hia anorting aorrel atalllon into the ■ational capital. There are a good nany people who go wild on email provocation. A Punch and Judy abow will throw them into flta of boyateroua tpplauae. But they’re not all wild at Sroken Bow. Some of them are aane mough to attend to the bnslnese which a pretty good up there now. "Ac Bryan mounted the atand the air *aa rent with joyoua ahouta from 8,000 hroats.” Well, what doea that all unount to? They rent the air in Chi sago laat aummer and a good many of hem have been nnding their garment* n repentence every aince. They rent he air for the atate-houae gang laat fail >ut then’s more renta now in the fusion icket than they can ever patch up. rhe people of this state have to much lenae to rend the air to any great extent [or Bill Bryan, Bill Green, Billl Allen, >r any other Bill who ia trying to rrganlze an opposition to this returning prosperity. Kero Addled while Rome was burning, ind the world has deapised him for hla lelflahnesa every aince. Governor Hoi :omb and hia cronies at the atate-houae played seven up with their annual passes while the aaaUnpMM was beg ging them to tell the eastern people something about Nebraska's prosperity. And now cornea tbia wild free silver fanatic, dancing like a jumping jack, and saying to the public, “look at me.” He wants to prolong these wild demon strations in his own igterest and wants the people to stop their business and rend the air. But I must close with one more sen tence. Whether fusion fuses or fizzles, Judge PoBt, the republican nominee, honored for his honorable record, re spected for hia unqueationed integrity, will get every republican vote and that means hia election by a safe majority: This ia not my opinion alone, but the opinion of the beat informed men here at the state capital.
